Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Do you guys think my retired Senior Master Sergeant is lying about this situation with this TransFemale?

Do you think my retired Senior Master Sergeant is lying about this? Look this guy's been married four times and his most recent one, his wife left him suddenly.A little bit about this guy since he's left the military, he has gotten in trouble with the law several times and been in jail several times. He even invited his ex inmates that he went to jail with to stay at his house and later kicked them out for being drunkards. The shocking part about this guy is he dates minority Trans women as some sort of rebound relationships. One of them is a pageant model. I'm not judging the guy's sexuality but when you act all machismo and straight edge tough among your peers and your dating queers behind the scenes, something's not right lol.....well I guess you can classify him as a modern metrosexual I guess.

Okay the other night, my friend invited another minority transwoman into his house and I even faced timed him and He let me have a conversation with 'her' and it looked like a transgender all right and it told me it got kicked out of the military for being trans. He later told me he refused to sleep with her that night while it was jacking off in the blankets and it ask him to 'help' him. He later kicked 'her' out his house for stealing. He plans on taking 'her' back in the future. Now you got to wonder why he's planning on taking 'her' back in anyways. Maybe he's lying that he did not sleep with 'her' and in fact he did and did some really homo stuff lol.

What do you guys think is he lying? Do you think I should stop talking to this guy?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

You’re being a hypocrite. You posted a pic of a trans woman yourself that you wanted to go out with and were soliciting our feedback.
Lol…were they trans we shall never know…but I don’t have a history of screwing them like this guy does….that stuff is bad for the soul…but different strokes for different folks I guess.

I'd say you put too much stock into what others think. I don't pay your rent, my guy. You want to shoot pool? Ride motorcycles? Shoot other things, blow something up on a farm or if you have tags, we'll go venison shopping for bullets. I could give a toss about what anyone chooses to do when adding tally marks to their tally whacker.

What I DO however see is that this guy has very off cuff life decisions. I don't see his diddling around with minorities or trans as hypocritical or a questionable act from someone who is supposedly a capable leader. What undermines this guys leadership reputation for me is the fact he's clearly got no regard for the law and invites other lawless individuals into his HOME. He's willingly (and it doesn't sound like knowingly) allowing criminals and revelers to cycle through his house.

Keep talking to the guy if you're keen on keeping your life very interesting, but also be ready for anything to happen at any time.

Lastly, I hate passing judgement, so I'll just share an observation. No matter how accomplished or proven someone is as a leader, even in the military, you can become a POS and undo a lot of things with careless and reckless decisions. Some people absolutely have to be told what to do, even as effective leaders and can't adjust to a corporate civilian life and sometimes not even a blue collar civilian life. It's certainly tragic.

I'm wagering this is playing in your head too, likely knowing who he was while in the service and seeing this kind of behavior now. Sorry man. It'd be really hard for me to just forget about someone. But you know where the line is. If you mean just staying in touch I don't see any harm in it. If keep talking to him means you occasionally go visit and you've seen this kind of stuff first hand, no good can come of it other than interesting stories to share with other friends. But at that point, his misery becomes other people's amusement. Do you really want that to be something you're doing?

Life's full of these opportunities to make 6 in one hand half a dozen in the other choices... Sucks.

Both you and your retired master sergeant are gay. He's banging men, and you considering banging a man.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

My bad....I was not aware of that rule, will not happen again
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Stop with the b.s. You don't spin plates. That would include fuhking them. You haven't been laid for a very long time. You would rather sit in coffee shops and write poems than stick your dihk in some hot azz.
' Basketball and playing is better than sex' - Charles Barkley.....you know that quote actually makes sense. As a dude ya gotta find something or an emotional and spiritual high far greater than getting poon.....and yeah writing poetry and Art and Yoga and martial arts and God Consciousness does that for me. You add sex into that equation especially with short term flings and useless one night stands and it can actually drain you of your creativity and spiritual edge like a boxer indulging before a fight. So it is far greater to have an exciting life living it solitarily than being involved with the wrong type of people and women.

It's painfully obvious that you've deified this fella, and now living vicariously through him

Take sex out of the equation then. You still don't have a girl. Thats the point to all of this right? You have been looking for 2yrs and still haven't found a girlfriend.

Charles Barkley is also very supportive of tranny's and gays.

You aren't fooling all of us.

I was referring to regression. Now that I think about it, I like that insight and even would wager that it could be very helpful to vets or those who help vets with difficulty adjusting. I'm not ruling out the possibility that he was lacking the foundation for general knowledge cited in your source. Or that perhaps this could explain the relevant ties to a 'reverse failure to adapt' occurring in a large portion of military to civilian transitions? Is that what you're getting at?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Just face timed the guy right now…it’s obvious the dude is gay when he’s shirtless and have an effeminate sounding and looking dude right beside him. Then he proceeded to talk stories about the tranny pageant queen he’s been talking to. Look the guy is a good guy, but bottomline, my masculine perception and admiration of him have been slightly ruined by these homoerotic actions lol.

Meh. You're not going to like everyone and everyone isn't going to like you. Regardless of effort or history. You're better served and serving elsewhere.

One of the best pieces of advice I got was similar. "If you find yourself getting along with everyone, you're doing something wrong." A piece of advice I think I may have come up with is also in the same category. "If you choose your friends well and surround yourself with the right people, a good life will almost live itself."

Bad company corrupts good morals, etc etc so on and so forth. We are to an extent the environment we choose to be in an perpetuate / improve. Choose a winning team and up will go up.
